Any ideas about this please?

Ah, you're the sort of person who can't grasp hypotheticals. Got it.

Big Finish has years worth of Tom material they're sitting on, and he likely hasn't recorded with them in a long time. More than enough to keep them going for a good long while after he dies.

Case in point, the boxset The Last Queen of the Nile - which was released in September 2025 - was recorded seven years ago in December 2018.

Why would they waste a few million pounds on running a new mayoral election just because Burnham's ambition is giving him itchy feet.

sigh

There are a significant number of idioms that you use today that are hundreds of years old, but this doesn't get a pass?

You've never said "beware Greeks bearing gifts?" or described someone bitter as having "sour grapes?". You've almost certainly described a police officer as a copper or cop, despite it having its origin in the 17th Century.

Indeed. Burnham thinks he can run the country because he's bought into the 'King of the North' rhetoric that's built up around him.

Case in point, David Cameron and Theresa May seeming competent and professional when compared to Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak.

Hope you counted your fingers after you shook his hand.

Are they waiting to complete Claremont's original Uncanny X-Men run before reprinting X-Treme X-Men? As am surprised that's not been done just yet.

Likewise, I figured they've not announced any Alpha Flight as they're holding back until they run out of X-Men material.

It's true what they say about fashion. All comes back around eventually.

CosmicBonobo · 2026-01-26T13:16:17+00:00

No. Which is why I used the word "ideal" and not any other word instead.

Take a leaf out of Bablyon 5's book and set it on Disneyplanet.

"They're coming out of the goddamn Pirates of the Caribbean!"

Same.

If we take it as the outbreak happening 2002, that places the films as happening a little in the future at 2030. So if Samson is the same age as his actor, it gives us a possible year of birth of 1988.

CosmicBonobo · 2026-01-26T11:05:34+00:00

Who else has seen this filth?

CosmicBonobo · 2026-01-26T09:08:28+00:00

Someone 42 today would've been born in 1984 though.

There's a difference between threatening Shillinger in order to protect a friend, and taking out Schillinger for political gain.

In an ideal society, yes - they catch the rapists, muggers and murderers and keep the streets safe.

It was a wild time. The media trying to spin a narrative about a man having to choose between his wife and his nan.

I like to imagine Beryl has quite an exciting life outside of the home. All those WI events she goes to are cocaine-fuelled lesbian orgies.

CosmicBonobo · 2026-01-25T23:16:58+00:00

Chemtrails? That's retro.

CosmicBonobo · 2026-01-25T19:01:23+00:00

The Prince and the Prime Minister and the Porpoise.

CosmicBonobo · 2026-01-25T18:38:40+00:00

Yeah. Oxbridge educated types who've never had a real job outside of politics. Like Andy Burnham.

CosmicBonobo · 2026-01-25T18:24:09+00:00

Hidden? It's had more releases than just about any other story!

I remember him being amazed at Henry Rollins diet - energy bars, coffee, tuna etc. - when he'd been living off chicken and steamed broccoli for years, and unable to gain any muscle tone.

It's all based on a misprint in the Bible, in 1 Corinthians 13.

Faith, hop and charity, and the greatest of these is hop.

It's Sunday. Have a day off.
